Small event in the footballing life of Facundo Medina. This fall, the Argentine defender finally received a phone call from Lionel Scaloni. The coach summoned him at the last minute to join the country. Still enough for Medina to pack his suitcase in the next hour before making his own way to Argentina.
There, he played, certainly for a minute. But a minute for the first time since June 2023. Still a starter at Racing, he may have been a little worse off in recent weeks. But this new cape could serve as a trigger for the rest of the events. In any case, it is a real possibility for his trainer Will Sill.
The selection, “It will do him good”
“Yes, absolutely, I think. Fac, he's someone… When I was in Reims, he was the first player I hated. Because he drove me crazy on the field, but he's the first guy you want to have on your team. And he needs to feel love towards his person. He's a South American, so there aren't a thousand secrets with him. He is very honest, very upright, and I think that his selection and the consideration he received from his country will help him in the weeks to come. And if I'm not mistaken, he paid for his own flight, he paid for all his stuff, he arranged everything. So that proves the enthusiasm or hunger he has. And I think that when you can rub shoulders with players of this talent and this notoriety, there is no need to hesitate. We have to go, we have to go for it, it will do him a lot of good. And then it’s a little warmer in Argentina too. »
